Gerrit Cole, DJ Lemahieu, Marcus power

The New York Yankees decimated injuries in 2025, but at that time it is a common topic. You are also not the only team that is injured by top -class absences, so it's not an excuse. You have to use your financial situation to your advantage, that's all (you won't be).

However, they had one of the worst injuries in the entire league when Gerrit Cole went with an elbow injury that required an operation by Tommy John. This is one that you cannot replace and use money to fix it (even though you did your best with Max Fried and it works).

After months, Cole spoke out of the spotlight since he went under the knife and worked through Rehabilitation with reporters before the series kicked off on Monday against the San Diego Padres to provide an update over his status. First and foremost, he misses baseball. We feel it there. It has to be hard.

He also gave a timeline that should upset the fans, even though they did not see him until 2026. Cole revealed that he should start playing in August. This is in three full months, so it is no wonder that he pitch “mentally” every evening before going to sleep.

Nice to hear from him and glad that after a very difficult year he is in a better place for the Cy Young winner in 2023.

Gerrit Cole spoke to the media in the Yankees Clubhaus this afternoon. After the Tommy John operation, he continues to improve. Hopes to play again in August. He said that he still mentally put up every evening before going to bed. “I didn't give up any hits.”

Yankees injury update: DJ lemahieu short hint, Marcus power progress

As for some other returns that should occur much earlier, both DJ Lemahieu and Marcus power are progressing in their recovery.

Lemahieus rehabilitation order will continue on Tuesday with Triple-A Scranton. He was supposed to join the rail rides last week, but received a precaution in his hip after his six-game stay at Double-A. He returned to Double-A after a few days off last weekend and saw action in two games.

Assuming that everything goes well in Scranton, Lemahieu could connect the Yankees on her western coast trip trip, which begins in Sacramento on Friday and end in Seattle next Wednesday. Whether you believe it or not, his return could be celebrated, given what the Yankees have to do in the middle infield at the moment.

The knee injury of electricity seems to be better on the Pitching page. On Monday he logged in another Bullpen meeting after his first went well on May 2. He has received several injections to support the pain in his left knee and seems to react well.

Aaron Boone said electricity could take part in the live stroke practice if he feels good in the next few days, but this will only be determined “later a week”.

Marcus power (knee) threw another bullpen today. If that goes well, he could organize a live blood pressure later this week, per boon.

After that, he will probably need a rehab task. So do not expect to see the right -hander for a few more weeks. Like Lemahieu, the subject of many criticism was due to his fighting, but at that time the fans will greet him with open arms after the catastrophe, which they have had in the starting trotation since its exit.

Giancarlo Stanton was ran in the rain as a small bonus before the game on Monday. Nothing has changed with his schedule, but if it moves further, a hint of fresh air is. Oh yes, and Anthony Volpe seems to be okay after she took part in the last night's action. Phew.
